Andrea Fischbacher of Austria won the gold, with Tina Maze of Slovenia taking home the silver.

Vonn opened her Vancouver Games by overcoming an ailing shin to win gold in the marquee downhill event only to wipe out in the slalom leg of the super-combined the next day.

Vonn won the last three World Cup super-G’s and swept speed skiing events at last season’s world championships in Val d’lsere, France.

American Julia Mancuso, who earned a silver in women's super-combined and downhill, finished ninth. If Mancuso had won, it would have been her fourth Olympic medal, tying her with Bode Miller for the U.S. record for alpine skiers.

Day 9 also included wins for both the men's and women's curling teams -- the women beat out Great Britain and the men took home another win against Sweden. Three Americans qualified in freestyle skiing, with Emily Cook finishing fifth, Lacy Schnoor in sixth and Ashley Caldwell in twelfth.

It was a record breaking day for Olympic ski jumping, Switzerland’s Simon Ammann became the first person to win four individual gold medals in the sport. In men's cross-country skiing, Sweden took home the gold and bronze, beating out favorites Ola Vigen Hattestad and Petter Northug Jr.of Norway.

In men’s hockey, Switzerland won over Norway; Slovakia beat Latvia; and Belarus and Germany's results are still to come.
